Jeffries, Ridley Exam 1 Flashcards
B and T cell function
adaptive immunity
distinguish self from non self
recognize and destroy specific foreign agents
b cells
humoral imminutiy
secrete antibodies to seek out and destroy a pathogen in the blood or mucosal surgaces (extracellular)
principle defense against microbed and their toxins
T cells
cell mediated immunity and pathogen destruction
eliminates intracellular pathogens like viruses and develop receptors to recognize viral proteins to signal destruction
Inflammation
redness (rulor) vasodilation, increased circulation
heat (calor) vasodilation, increased circulation, increased interstitial fluid levels
Pain (dolor) swelling presses on pain receptors, prostaglandins signal pain
Swelling (tumor) increased interstitial fluid, blocked lymphatic draining, vasodilation
Loss Of Function-edema and pain
Chemical mediators of inflammatory response
histamine and bradykinin send stress signal to vasodilate
lysosomes digest foreign material within the cell
leukocytes (neutrophils first, then macrophages) for extra cellular phagocytosis
Why is fever important?
increases metabolic rate for faster tissue repair
macrophages secrete pyrogen which resets body’s internal thermostat to a higher degree
4 hypersensitivities
anaphylaxis
cytotoxic
immune complex
cell mediated
anaphylaxis (type 1)
IgE
mast cells, basophils release histamine-prostaglandins-leukotrienes-shock
Type II Cytotoxic
activate complemt IgG or IgM to lyse antigenic cell transfusions pemphigus good pastures graves disease myasthemia gravis
Graves Disease
goiter, exophthalmos
type II
myasthenia gravis
progressive muscle weakness ptosis of eye, face neck, limbs
Type II
Immune Complex Type III
soluble antigens in serum serum sickness arthus reaction-edema, hemorrhage, necrosis systemic lupus erythematosus RA
arthus reaction
edema
hemorrhage
necrosis
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
type III
butterfly rash on face
rash, oral ulcers, arthritis, proteinuria, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, photosensitivity
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Type III
Chronic autoimmune disorger
swelling and heat in joints
Cell Mediated Type IV
T cells makes this unique-not driven by antibodies contact dermatitis, TB poison ivy Steven Johnsons syndrome GVHD Insulin Dep Diabetes Mellitus MS
Insulin Dep Diabetes Melitus
Type IV
can’t produce insulin
MS
Type IV
brain atrophy, oculomotor, coordination, incontinence, cognitive impairment and confusion
serum sickness
uticaria, edema, fever
Steven Johnson
Type IV
fever, sore throat, fatigue, ulcers, and lesions on mucous membranes, conjunctivities, round skin lesions
Endotoxin
by product of gram negative bacteria that cause pyrogenic effect and the resulting disease. Sugar + Fat molecule crease disease states. Ex Cholera
Exotoxin
Protein enzymes released from living microbes that cause body to swell. Ex staph (gram +) can grow and reproduce in salt. Toxins crease the sicness we feel. No smell, no spoilage. lots of vomiting
Sepsis
temp greater than 101.4 less than 96
BP 90/40
HR greater than 90 bpm
RR greater than 20 bpm
WBC greater than 12000 or less than 4000, less than 10% neutrophils
less than 10cc/hr UOP
Bacteria and toxins in the blood growing out of control
cytokines produce widespread systemic vasodilation
*Need three of the above to qualify as sepsis
